Snipe on the Atherton Tablelands

["Alan Gillanders" <>]

G'day All,
Large numbers of Snipe present at the moment. Yesterday we had one definite 
Swinhoe's, one probable and one possible. Also three definite Latham's, 
three probables and more than half a dozen warranting no allocation to 
species.
Of the one definite Swinhoe's I got a good look at the upper tail coverts 
and my guest saw the long trailing legs.
Should also mention for those searching for them that the Blue-faced 
Parrot-finches are becoming difficult to see. They are still around but 
often in groups of one! Two was the most I saw yesterday in the one place 
but did hear others nearby.
Regards,
Alan
